In October there were twenty children

happy sunny faces as they carry around

and their natural desire for mothers
/ love and protection has been satisfied
| The days passed at this home will have an
effect ON them for life.
One sweet little boy was there, who had
been taken from fallen mother who was
living with colored man on Rat Row
The child was afflicted with a painful spin
/ al disease, from having been made to bear
| his weight on his feet when too young
and before his bones were sufficiently
hardened Coming from such low quar-
ter, trouble as to his moral qualities was
anticipated and not without reason. On
the second day while playing with the 9th
er children, a horrible black oath fell from
his childish lips. Surprising to relate he
was gifted with an intelligence and moral
nature that is lacking in the sons of more
elevated families. A few moments talk
was sufficient to turn him from this vulgar
habit. He stayed at the hospital until he
was too old and too far recovered to need
its shelter His conduct there was noted
for its uprightness and amiability.

The Baptist Sunday-school Institute

The Biblical Recorder, speaking of the
Baptist Sunday-school institute which
meets in Henderson next Thursday, oath,
mention of which was made in the GOLD
LEAF last week, says:
The Sunday-schaoI Convention at Hen
derson next Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday promises to be brilliant affair.
Saturday will be field day. All who 90
may expect a genuine, warm-hearted, joy
Gus time A large crowd will be there.
Mr. and Mrs. DO0d. who for twenty-five
years have taught the Primary Department
of the First church Sunday-schOOl, this
city, will be present with hundred OF
more little children, to give the Sunday
This is bound to prove interesting. Bright
faces. good music, and sparkling speeches
will I've the programme of the day. We
trust that every one who can, will go. 1t
would be ray of light in the lives of anti
Sunday-schOol people to spend the days of
this Convention at Henderson. No him
drance to being present need stand in the
way of any one is this part of the State.
Railroad fare has been reduced to two cents
per mile. Excursion trairs have been pro-
vided, to run from Raleigh on Saturday.
The round trip, we understand, will be one
dollar. Of course the prices will be small
er from stations nearer Henderson. Super
intendent, L. NJ. Pittman, and his Sunday
school, will be there to meet with hearty
welcome, all who attend. Burwell Opera
House will be engaged for Saturday, in
order to accommodate the crowd that is ex-
pected to be present. This is but
the beginning of brighter things for our
Baptist Sunday-schools in the State.
Mr.. Thos. NJ. Pittman, Superintendent
of the Baptist Sunday-school in Henderson,
writes to the Recorder as follows on the
subject:
X This institute is appointed by
the Sunday-Scho0i Board and is under its
management and direction, and this fact
alone guarantees profitable meeting We
will provide entertainment for such dele
gates as shall notify us of their purpose to
attend. special feature will be the pres
ence of one hundred members of the In
FAINT school of the First church of Raleigh
on Saturday. This school and its teachers,
brother and sister Dodd, have probably a
greater reputation than any other school i'll
the State, and it will be we'll worth the
while, expense and trouble of the trip to
witness the workings of this class. This
promises to be the largest and most impor-
tant meeting of the kind ever held in
North Carolina. Yours, &c,
THOs. NJ. PITTMAN.

A CARD.

Having tasted the joys of drummer in
travels through the State, laughed with the
boys in Richmond, eaten at the best hotels,
selling clothing by the thousand dollars a
day; having all this good time and fun at
somebody else's expense, my thoughts
would turn unbidden to my old home and
my old place behind y. Lehman'S counter.
where the friendly faces of Auld Lang Syne
beamed upon ME, more enjoyable to me
than the changing pleasures to be had
among strangers. As in the spring time a
young mans thoughts turn lightly to love,
so do mine gather around Henderson, when
the birds begin to sing, and are nesting
again. If you want a suit of clothes that
will set you off in the best light, call on me
let HE fix you up, and no girl can resist
you. Remember spring stock is coming in
daily; more attractions than ever, and at
prices that defy competition.
Very Respectfully,
LEWIS w. BARNES,
At Lehman's 'Old Reliable Clothing and
Shoe House.

Why is the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States, the Best
Company to Join?

l. Because it issues the best policy !:
It's policies are simple and concise, and
become incontestable as soon as they are
three years cid.
2 Because it pays every incontestable
policy Immediately upon the receipt OF
''proofs OF DEATH"
In paying promptly instead of delay
ing for several months. as is usual 18th
other companies, it does more to relieve
distress and to protect estates, than
could be accomplished by paying double
the amount after long delay.
8 The Fq ,itable is the best company,
bee 1use it has no contested claims on its
books.
4 Because it does a larger annual bus
mess than any other company in the
world, thus proving its high reputation
and the confidence of the public in its
strength and superiority.
5. Because of its large surplus. furnish
ing absolute security and large divi-
dends of profits.
6. Because of many other considera-
tons to be found in the larger publica-
tons which may be obtained from Mr..
J. r. Young, the Socie Us Agent at
Henderson, n. G. 1t will pay you to
consult him on all kinds of insurance.
